Oslo, 17 July 2020: Scatec Solar’s second quarter 2020 proportionate revenues reached NOK 925 million (1,648) with an EBITDA of NOK 417 million (388) and associated EBITDA margin of 45%. Power production reached 406 GWh on proportionate basis, a doubling of electricity production from the same quarter last year.As the current portfolio of projects under construction is almost complete, second quarter revenues decreased compared with the same quarter last year, partly offset by higher power production revenues.

The change in segment mix results in a higher EBITDA margin for the Group also this quarter.“I’m proud of our people who have maintained stable operations and ensured continued power deliveries to our customers during challenging times, and we are completing our construction projects in the second half of this year. Even though COVID-19 continues to impact some solar markets, we are growing our pipeline. With available liquidity of NOK 3.6 billion we are progressing several large project opportunities across emerging markets”, says Raymond Carlsen, CEO of Scatec Solar.Scatec Solar’s second quarter consolidated revenues reached NOK 725 million (376), with EBITDA at NOK 580 million (290).
